VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Leo XIV asked Catholics to observe Aug. 22 as a day of prayer and fasting for peace and justice, particularly in Ukraine and in the Holy Land.
At the end of his general audience Aug. 20, the pope noted that the church will celebrate the feast of the Queenship of Mary Aug. 22.
"While our world continues to be wounded by wars in the Holy Land, in Ukraine and in many other regions of the world," he said, "I ask all the faithful to spend Aug. 22 in fasting and prayer, asking the Lord to grant us peace and justice and to dry the tears of those who suffer because of the armed conflicts underway."
"May Mary, queen of peace, intercede so that people would find the path of peace," he prayed.

I went to mass with my mom last Sunday and it didn't look like many of the catholics there even know what fasting means.

If you're Catholic you should be fasting every Friday, and Wednesday and every day throughout the Lent season.
You should also be, as Saint Paul praying with out ceasing.

Usually it means, at minimum, the type of fasting you do on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday: two small snacks that, combined, do not equal a full meal, and one full meal.
